WRITER's WORKSHOP:

We are launching Information books this week. Kindergarten refers to these books as "Expert" books. Be ready for your child to talk about NON-FICTION!!!

Speaking of Writing....last Friday we had our Writing Celebration with a buddy. Kindergarten voted to invite one "guest of honor" to the party. Most kids invited a student in the school, but some kids invited their moms. IT was a huge success. We broke into groups with our buddy and shared our piece that we published in September and the piece we published in November. Kids and adults were impressed. WE also shared some snacks....cookies (THANKS Martha), apples (Thanks Monroe Family), popcorn and grapes. It was a nice way to end the week. Below you will find some pictures of our celebration.
